SUMMARY:EACC NY - Webinar | Self-writing Software: Who Coded the String First? - Copyright Concerns with Software Created by AI
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith all the hype around the opportunities and challenges presented by Artificial Intelligence\, more and more focus is being paid on where the content that AI regurgitates actually comes from. There have been a growing number of complaints about companies that are ‘’training” their AI systems using data that does not belong to them. The concerns were expressed by a broad range of professionals\, including writers\, artists\, composers\, etc. After researchers built a system to write computer programs\, picking up strings of code from an untold number of programs posted to the internet\, another group of professionals joined the protesters\, software writers.\nCourts are trying to establish how intellectual property laws should be applied in cases of self-writing software\, and several cases have already been filed. To protect themselves from these risks\, software companies that use generative AI need to ensure that they are in compliance with the law and take steps to mitigate potential risks\, such as ensuring they use training data free from unlicensed content or they pay for the licenses – a goal that is not easy to accomplish if your AI goes fishing in the vast data pools of the internet. \nOur panel will discuss the many open questions about self-writing software and copyrights. Join us and hear about what the challenges and possible solutions are to avoid breaching the intellectual property laws in Europe and the U.S. \nIssues to be discussed: \n• Awareness of Limitations\n> Need for human oversight – will it decrease or increase with ‘smarter’ AI?\n>Bad (or malicious) code – how to detect it and who will check? \n• Regulation/Ethics\n>Who can /should regulate? Governments and/or trade organizations?\n> Bias: Who ultimately controls the selection algorithm of what to pick and where to pick from? \n• Technology and Its Limitations\n> Certifying code\, who and how?\n> Quality tests\n> Dataset related questions \n• Intellectual Property-Related Issues\n> Do we need to rethink IP?\n> How to track offenders (whom to prosecute if code is ‘stolen’? \nSPEAKERS:\n• Jeffrey W. Gluck\, Partner\, PANITCH SCHWARZE\n• Louis-Pierre Gravelle\, Vice President – Practice Management Committee\, FICPI (International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys)\n• Victor Gonzalez Pacheco\, Adjunct Professor\, IE UNIVERSITY\n• Derek Slater\, Founder\, PROTEUS STRATEGIES\nModerator is to be announced soon.\n \nTIME:\n10:00 – 11:00 AM ET | 16:00h – 17:00h CET \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free \n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:EACC NY: Webinar | Quarterly EU Economic Update - Sailing Through Calmer Seas?
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nThe European Union has weathered the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine much better than expected. The commodity price shock of 2022 is now a thing of the past\, as Europe has pivoted away from Russian imports of oil and natural gas with amazing speed. Not only has the EU avoided energy shortages\, but gas prices have now fallen below pre-war levels. This resilience has allowed the EU to shrug off fears of a recession and continue its economic expansion. \nGrowth in 2023 is likely to be stronger than expected just a few months ago. Historically strong labor markets\, improving consumer confidence\, and solid corporate profits are all working to keep the expansion on track\, even in the face of continuing headwinds from the war. Though inflation remains too high\, it is now coming down and should continue to ease in the months ahead. The EU is making massive investments in the green and digital transitions\, which will secure Europe’s energy independence\, support growth and innovation\, and promote a cleaner\, healthier environment. \nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released Spring 2023 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-May and weigh the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risk factors.  \nSPEAKERS:\n• Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION to the UNITED STATES\n• Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION to the UNITED STATES\n• Maddalena Perretti\, Advisor\, ECB’s PERMANENT REPRESENTATION to the UNITED STATES\n• Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator] \n \nLOCATION: Online\n\nTIME:\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CT\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCTX Members: Free\nEACCTX non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis event has been organized in partnership with the EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES
